# emacsclient
> Open files in an existing Emacs server.
> See also `emacs`.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/emacsclient-Options.html>.
- Open a file in an existing Emacs server (using GUI if available):
`emacsclient {{path/to/file}}`
- Open a file in console mode (without an X window):
`emacsclient {{[-nw|--no-window-system]}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Open a file in a new Emacs window:
`emacsclient {{[-c|--create-frame]}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Evaluate a command, printing the output to `stdout`, and then quit:
`emacsclient {{[-e|--eval]}} '({{command}})'`
- Specify an alternative editor in case no Emacs server is running:
`emacsclient {{[-a|--alternate-editor]}} {{editor}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Stop a running Emacs server and all its instances, asking for confirmation on unsaved files:
`emacsclient {{[-e|--eval]}} '(save-buffers-kill-emacs)'`
